    Lonan Parish Commissioners Statutory Meeting Tuesday 18th March 2014 at 1730 hours at All Saints Church, Lonan. MINUTES Present: Mr S. Clucas, Mr N. Dobson, Mr S. Clague, Mr M. Burgess, Mr P. Hill. Apologies: Mr J. Faragher. Chair: Mr S. Clucas. Clerk: Mr P. Hill. Guests: Rev. J. Dudley, Rector Clive Burgess of Onchan Church. The Meeting commenced at 1730 hours. 119/13 Minutes of the Statutory Meeting of 18th February 2014. Action The Minutes of the Statutory Meeting of 18th February 2014 were examined for accuracy, and it was agreed that they represented a correct statement of events. Proposed by: MB. Seconded by: SC. 120/13 Matters Arising out of the Minutes. a) SC – 115/13(f) – Gave a comprehensive overview of the proposed Freedom of Information Act at PH the conclusion of which a discussion took place. It was agreed that the Board would respond in the following terms, that it was unbalanced in that the Government had too many get out from disclosure clauses whereas the Local Authorities did not; that the Chief Minister could issue a Certificate authorising the withholding of information, which completely defeats the purposes of this proposal given that no Chief Minister is going to allow information to be released that could be of embarrassment to him or the Government.; that the fee scales have not been determined, which could be central to the ability of an individual to apply for information and for Local Authorities to budget for. ND thanked SC for his work in this regard. 121/13 Private Sessions.

  • Women's Suffrage in the Isle Of
    Education Pack Women’s Suffrage in the Isle of Man Contact Details: [email protected] 01624 685520 1 Introduction from the President of Tynwald It is still not widely known that the Isle of Man was the first place in the world where women could vote in a national election. In 2018 the United Kingdom is celebrating the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage, when women householders, leaseholders, and graduates over the age of 30 were given the right to vote in elections to the House of Commons. By 1918, women householders in the Isle of Man had been able to vote in elections to the House of Keys for 37 years, and women leaseholders had been able to for 26 years. A year later, in 1919, all women resident in the Isle of Man would be given both the vote and the right to stand for election, regardless of their property status. Unlike in the United Kingdom, there was no mass campaigning of the sort organised by the suffragettes. Instead, it appears to have been largely the work and initiative of individuals such as Richard Sherwood MHK, who worked to secure votes for women in the 19th century, and William Crennell MHK, whose efforts achieved universal adult suffrage in the early 20th century. These men were, however, undoubtedly supported in their mission by women and other allies, The Hon Steve Rodan BSc (Hons) whose names and deeds have sadly not been recorded. MRPharmS MLC, President of Giving women householders the vote in 1881 was the first in a long Tynwald line of extensions to the franchise, all of which can be summarised by the principle of ‘no taxation without representation’.

  • Reform of the Planning System - Proposed Amendments to Increased Permitted Development
    The Cabinet Office Consultation Summary & Department Responses Reform of the Planning System - Proposed Amendments to Increased Permitted Development Date: June 2020 1 We Asked - The Town & Country Planning Act (1999) sets out a definition of ‘development’. Things that fall within this definition must have planning approval before they can be carried out. Planning approval can be via individual planning applications or can be a ‘blanket’ approval by secondary legislation (aka Permitted Development or PD). The mechanism for the latter is a Development Order produced by the Cabinet Office and approved by Tynwald. The determination of a planning application must take into account all relevant material considerations and must not take into account anything which is not a material consideration. Development Orders may be appropriate where proposals are unlikely to be contentious or where relevant the material considerations are unlikely to benefit from case-by-case consideration. Where a proposal is contentious due to non-material issues, there is unlikely to be any benefit of case-by-case consideration by way of a planning application as the process cannot legally take into account the non-material issues which make it controversial. Amendments were proposed to the existing Permitted Development and the principles were the subject of a public consultation as part of the ongoing joint project between the Cabinet Office and the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture to reform the planning system. However, for the avoidance of doubt, references within this document to the Department refer to the Cabinet Office. The consultation asked for views about a number of proposed amendments to existing Permitted Development rights.

  • Quintin Gill House of Keys General Election Thursday 22Nd September 2016 WE NEED POLITICIANS with COMMITMENT, INDEPENDENCE and EXPERIENCE
    DOUGLAS EAST Quintin Gill House of Keys General Election Thursday 22nd September 2016 WE NEED POLITICIANS WITH COMMITMENT, INDEPENDENCE AND EXPERIENCE 2 The General Election on 22nd September is your chance to cast your vote for MHKs to represent you, your family, friends, neighbours and everyone in our community across the Island. It will be an important election as the Isle of Man faces some pressing challenges and serious threats. I believe that more than ever we need politicians with the vision, skills and commitment to make many overdue and very necessary changes in our Parliamentary and Governmental systems. A further five years of the same attitudes and behaviours will further damage the Isle of Man – possibly irreparably. YOUR DECISION WHO YOU VOTE FOR IS THEREFORE CRUCIAL . EXPERIENCED, INDEPENDENT, COMMITTED 3 The comment I have heard most over the past few years, and certainly since canvassing homes and businesses across the constituency, is one of frustration with, and criticism about, the Government. Certainly the Government has been weak, inconsistent, secretive and arrogant but frankly they have been largely allowed to get away with this as the rest of Tynwald Members have failed to hold them to account, let alone present a coherent and positive opposition. All our new MHKs need to have the courage, character and experience to understand what their new role really is. They will then need to act to make the necessary overdue decisions to turn around the fortunes and future of the Isle of Man. With several long-serving politicians retiring it is more important than ever that we have politicians with the necessary experience to understand and undertake their roles fully and immediately.
